butterfly factories on tumbling clouds

The end of last November brought a really beautiful gift to my family and me ... the birth of my baby niece, Vivian. Her tiny toes, her little hands ... her peachy cheeks that stretch when she yawns ... she's a miracle. She's afraid of taking baths, but if you hold both of her hands, she stops crying and suddenly she is so, so brave. I kiss her cheek and her forehead nearly everyday. The presence of a baby girl is so sweet and tender.

My brother told me that having a baby girl in your arms ... makes you want to give her the whole world. :)
